Our culture

Working at Wattpad means being part of a unique work culture that’s centred around something we all believe in—using technology to find new ways to tell the world’s stories.

Join Us

Through everything we do, we strive to create an environment that fosters transparency, inclusion, and collaboration.

There are no ivory towers or fancy corner offices here. Instead, we offer bi-weekly all-hands meetings, the opportunity to connect with our President through office hours, and an open, available leadership team that works alongside everyone else. So you’ll always know where Wattpad is going and how your work is getting us there.

We also push ourselves to innovate. Each decision is driven by our desire to make the world better, and backed by data. And each team member is given access to Wattpad’s live numbers and revenue stats.

We encourage a remote-first environment that’s flexible and suitable to your needs. To foster connection digitally (and across borders), we offer virtual team lunches, guest speakers, virtual games, challenges and more to make sure everyone feels like they’re part of the team.

Plus, if you’re based in Toronto or Halifax and want to work in the office, we have 2 beautiful HQ locations with lots of perks! No matter where you work, Wattpad offers an inclusive space for you, to do you.

Wattpad is creating a world where everyone’s story can be heard, and anyone can belong.

As the engine behind the world’s largest social storytelling platform, our success has always been driven by our ability to embrace our differences and lift up marginalized voices. To us, diversity and inclusion aren’t corporate jargon—they’re core to who we are.

Not only are we working to build a team as diverse as our user base, we are actively working on trying to foster a safe environment and culture where marginalized groups can be their authentic self and have equal opportunity in their careers. We offer support, mentorship, and training to make sure the playing field is level for everyone. And we have an active Diversity & Inclusion advisory group that continues to address the challenges marginalized people face in the workplace.

While the work of being truly inclusive is never finished, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made—and we’re committed to promoting honest dialogue about diversity and inclusion in the startup community and beyond.

Glassdoor reviews

Wattpad hires amazing people. A players learning from A players.

Amazing work environment with lots of social activities. Co-ops and interns are treated just like full time employees. Very cool office that is located in a very nice area of Toronto.

Leadership (from the CEO down) has been very open and transparent about revenue, growth and direction since Day 1.
